The NHL season has started and here at LTL we have conjured up our predictions where NHL teams will finish in their respective divisions and conferences. Like other hockey sources, we have come up with Power Rankings of where we project each team to finish amongst teams in the entire league. Our conference champions came out to the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference and the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference. Along with these projections we are unveiling a new banner at the top of our site to reflect our predictions, showing Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings and Martin Brodeur of the Devils. Feel free to comment here or in our Facebook discussion boards to voice your opinions choices. | # | Team | Conference/Division |
